The Joker Outioked.

A thrilling though true story relat-
ing to a prominent merchant of st.
Paul, but who is now visiting the lake,
has Just leaked out. The man in
question had attended a fashionable
dinner party and had imbibed rather
freely of champagne, so much so that
on returning to his Office he felt an
irresistible impulse to play on some
body practical joke. His quick wit
soon came to his rescue. Managing
to reach the telephone he called up
an undertaken, and representing him.
self to be the Coroner, ordered him to
come Immediately and remove dead
man. He telephoned to another un-
dertaker the same message, and still
another. Not satisfied yet he called
fourth-urgipg them to hasten. He
threw himself on sofa to await the
fun. He soon, however, went to sleep
and when the undertakers came he
was doing away in halfdrunken
stupor. The undertakers soon under
stood the situation and whispered
shert time among themselves.
+ A few minutes after were seen to
carry one of the boxes into the Office,
and soon returned with it, lifting it
with much exertion into the wagon.
When the man awoke he found him

WEEKLY ARGUS.
MISCELLANEOUS.
THE LEGEND OF THE BELL.

It's noon within the tower OF the bell,
The mallet strikes its craven metal side.
And out upon the air the deep tones swell,
Then break and die In echoes far and wide,
And after each loud, changing, braz' n tone
Has rolled from dome above 10 floor below,
There clearly sounds a sobbiDg. golden moan,
Which ends In silver whispers faint and low.
And thus Il rings through all the changing days,
And there is not child who can not tell
In all the winding Chinese city ways,
This quaint old legend OF tho wondrous bell.
Five hundred years ago tho august Ming
Did order cast bell OF strongest mold,
That through the many -colorod streets should
ring,
Aud formed OF iron, silver, brass and gold.
His worthy steward called each bellsmith there
The molds were formed, the metals fused
with shill
The roaring fires were built and watched with
care,
And workers wrought with strong and ready
will.
But whom the bell was cost twas all In vain,
The gold had scorned the silver ore and brass.
The holders wrought thor weary task again,
And once again II proved shapeless mass.
And then this direful message came one day:
Thou hast betrayed the trust placed In thee.
Take heed from this and hasten TO obey"
The steward Ind one daughter fair to see,
And good was she and true, as we'll as fair
And when the message came so full OF dread,
Sho quietly sold her jewels rich and rare,
And sought q seer, who searched his books
and said;
"a maiden's form must with the ores unite,
Ere silver, gold and brass shall blend In one"
The maid went home, her heart grown cold with
fright
And secret kept what she had heard and done
At last tho third and fatal casting came.
The lady with her maid stood by the door;
They saw the workmen feed the furnace flame,
And watched the slowly whitening lake OF ore,
But ere the master gave tho sign TO cast,
For thee, my father, seer the maiden cried,
In birdlke notes above the roaring blast
Then sank beneath the glowing metal tide.
They bore the father home with grief distraught
While stu the maid before the furnace stood,
And held the tiny golden shoe she caught.
As fell the mistress meath the molten food
And yet In spite OF all they cast the bell.
Although they feared their work must useless
prove;
But, strange TO say, they found no trace to tell
or her who gave her life with childlike love.
And when the bell was cold the molders found
II fair and perfect, both In tint and form,
And far above all other bells in sound,
With tone like pea.ings from summer storm,
And when each swelling tone has died away,
And sharply sweet the silver note rings
through,
IT'S then the Chinese mothers softly say;
THE maid is calling. crying for her shoe"
-Louise W. Ddooss, IN Detroit Free Pre@.
